Ingenious Moving tricks That Make Packing Painless

As your move-in date gets closer and closer, the mere thought of packing can be daunting. Putting all your belongings in boxes just so you can get them out again is not anyone's favorite activity, so we found some awesome moving tips that will make going to a new place easier than you thought possible. Take a look at these Ingenious Moving tricks That Make Packing Painless below.

  1. Slide directly into the trash on the clothes hanger. Unpacking will be very easy.
  2. Put cotton balls in your makeup pacts so they don't break. They act as a pillow with delicately powdered cosmetics.
  3. Use toilet paper rolls to organize your ropes. Keep cables organized by wrapping each cable and tucking it into an empty roll.
  4. Take pictures of your home before you move out. If you are a tenant, be sure to document exactly what your home looks like when you move out. You want that deposit back!
  5. Wrap the breakable dishes in your shirts. Not only do you save on bubble wrap, but you also pack multiple items at once.
  6. Change your address beforehand. Be sure to take care of this annoying chore at least two weeks before the move.
  7. Defrost your refrigerator one day before moving. Avoid all kinds of leaks and unpleasant odors by doing this at least a day in advance.
  8. Keep track of your moving expenses; some of them are tax-deductible. Move-in now, save money later.
  9. Stack dishes with Styrofoam dishes between them. It is an easy and inexpensive way to make sure your dishes don't break.
  10. Roll up your clothes. Instead of folding clothes, roll them up to save a lot of space.
  11. Wrap an elastic band around your doorknob so it doesn't get blocked. Wrap around a doorknob, then cross it over to the doorknob on the other side so that the lock is blocked. When you walk in and out of your house, you won't have to worry about being locked up.
  12. Place towels under heavy furniture to avoid ruining floors. Furniture will also slide very easily.
  13. Label your boxes on the side, not on the top. When you stack them, you can always see what's inside.
  14. Use sandwich bags for small and important items like screws. When you put the bed frame or shelf back together, they will all be in the same place.
  15. Find free moving boxes for free - ask Coles or Woolworths. You can also order boxes at smaller stores; they often have a lot of leftovers.

It's the simple things
